The Man Who Gave The Protagonist a Halo

When Bai Xiyu saw Ji Changli again, it was already three days later. When he knelt on the ground and raised his head, he saw Ji Changli's face was pale, and there were bruises under his eyes. His body seemed a little empty for no reason. Bai Xiyu didn't know what happened to Ji Changli in the past few days, which made him lose so much weight in just a few days.

What else could be worthy of him?

Bai Xiyu stared at Ji Changli for a long time, he thought that so many worlds had already passed, and he should not have cared about it long ago, but now, he did not show anything on the surface, but the teeth in his mouth are now They were all trembling non-stop, and the fingertips of both hands were trembling slightly.

He thought that after his death, Ji Changli should love Yunji and grow old together, but now it seems that this is not the case. Ji Changli's relationship with Yunji... Bai Xiyu can't tell What was the problem? He just vaguely felt that the relationship between the two of them was not as simple as he had imagined. Perhaps killing himself was not enough to appease Yunji's resentment.

Even at the moment when he was bestowed to death, he still hoped that Ji Changli would live in peace and grow old with the person he liked.

After a long while, Bai Xiyu opened his mouth, originally wanting to ask if he needs to be seen by the imperial physician, but in the end he lowered his head again and said nothing.

Now there is no other way, he is no longer the Xiaobai who can talk freely in front of him, he is now Yu Nian, an ordinary guard with no sense of existence.

Ji Changli didn't know what Bai Xiyu was thinking. He was just sitting in the imperial study, looking down at the "Seven Signs of Yunji" in his hand. All the officials had rested for the past few days, so there was no memorial. Need to deal with it, he could have stayed in his bedroom, but for some reason, he ran to the imperial study and read an inexplicable "Seven Signs from Yunji".

"The Seven Signs of Yunji" is a book related to cultivating immortals, which records many legendary immortal arts, but except for the Yin family who can practice some of these immortal arts, others can't even get started .

Bai Xiyu was a little far away from him, so he couldn't see what Ji Changli was looking at. If he recognized the name of this book, he would be surprised why Ji Changli read this kind of book. up.

Ji Changli turned a page of the book in his hand, and said, "Get up." After Bai Xiyu stood up from the ground, Ji Changli turned the "Seven Signs of Yunji" two more pages, and there was no Looking up, he just spoke slowly to Bai Xiyu and said, "In a few days, after the Lantern Festival, I will send you to Weizhou, and then I will give you two letters, and you will give them to General Xie and General Wang."

Bai Xiyu really couldn't figure out what Ji Changli wanted to do. He would also send him to the homes of officials in the capital to deliver some things or to say hello to them before the new year. After a year, he is He was about to be sent out of the capital, and now all the officials thought he was Ji Changli's confidant, but in fact, Ji Changli didn't give him any special rewards other than ordering him to go out to do things, so he now has He doesn't have any rights at all, he's still just a small guard, but no matter what, since the emperor has ordered him down, he can only obey, "The humble minister leads the order."

Ji Changli didn't look at him, and said casually, "You don't have to stay in the palace these few days, go home and have a look."

Yu Nian's family doesn't have any relatives in his memory, but this does not prevent him from being full of joy for this hard-won vacation. He cupped his hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yu Nian's home is also in the capital, his house was left to him by his parents, the house is not big, and after Yu Nian went to work in the palace, the house was vacant, and no one has lived in it for a long time The wall on the east side is starting to peel off. If the spring rain comes after a while, the wall will probably be destroyed.But in this part of the capital, it is good to have a house, so there are so many things to be picky about.

And Bai Xiyu didn't plan to live in this place for a long time. He even planned to sell the house after resigning from office for a while, and then find a good place for himself. If the headquarters completely abandons him, he will be honest. Stay in this world and spend the rest of your life in peace.

After New Year's Eve, the Lantern Festival came one after another. Although Ji Changli gave Bai Xiyu a few days off, the holiday was not long enough for him to finish the Lantern Festival.

Ji Changli may have given up on the "Seven Signs of Yunji", and today he picked up another "Danyang Cultivation" and read it. When it was evening, he put down the book in his hand, stood up, and faced Bai Xiyu Said: "Yu Nian, come with me outside the palace."

After hearing this, Bai Xiyu was silent for a while. If it was the same as before, he would have happily changed his clothes immediately and went out with Ji Changli at this time, but it would be a bit out of place for him to do so now, so Bai Xiyu persuaded: "Your Majesty, during the Shangyuan Festival, the capital city is full of fish and dragons. Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand chariots. It would be wrong to go out rashly."

But Ji Changli didn't listen to his advice, he waved his hand, "Don't say too much, just follow me out."

This is also within Bai Xiyu's expectation, Ji Changli is a ghost if he can listen to him, anyway, he has persuaded him, if something happens outside, he should not be blamed, right? Bai Xiyu lowered his head head, replied: "Yes."

The two changed into casual clothes and left the palace.

It was dusk outside, and today is the Shangyuan Festival. At this time, the streets were full of traffic, and there were endless hawkers, and stalls selling lanterns were one after another. The whole market was as bright as day. Ji Changli walked in front, and Bai Xiyu walked in front Silently followed him.

The children were running, jumping and playing in the market with all kinds of lanterns in their hands. Ji Changli suddenly tilted his head and glanced at these children, then he stopped in his tracks.

Bai Xiyu used to like things like lanterns very much. At that time, Ji Changli was also willing to pamper him. Every time it came to the Lantern Festival, he would definitely take him out. Maybe he was a little out of his mind when he was young. Sometimes Ji Changli would buy him a bunch of lanterns, and then he would run around all over the street with five or six lanterns in his hands.

Later, the lanterns in his hand were all extinguished one by one, so he threw them aside, sat on the ground and cried, when Ji Changli saw him, he had to come over and bend down to touch his head, showing a very helpless expression. He picked up the lanterns he had thrown on the ground, lighted them up again, put them in his hands, rubbed the top of his head, comforted him and said, "Don't cry, Xiaobai, look, it's bright again." gone."

Next, Bai Xiyu would take the lantern from Ji Changli's hand with a smirk on his face, and continue to let himself go in various ways.

Seeing that he can do things like sitting on the ground and crying, he should know that these things happened a long time ago. Bai Xiyu felt that he was quite ashamed at that time, but Ji Changli will put this in the Shangyuan Festival every year from now on. As an interesting thing, review it for Bai Xiyu.

And now, Ji Changli finally won't mention those things to him again, but Bai Xiyu is not happy either.

Ji Changli stood there watching for a long time, until the children completely disappeared from his sight, then he turned his head and continued walking forward.

Bai Xiyu followed behind, seeing Ji Changli wandering aimlessly, couldn't help but ask from behind, "Where are you going, my lord?"

Ji Changli responded, "Just take a look."

He was indeed looking casually, from the street to the end, and from West Street to East Street, almost without stopping, Bai Xiyu could only follow behind him, walking around with him.

Finally, Ji Changli stopped in front of a stall selling lanterns. He picked out a rather delicate peach blossom lantern from a pile of lanterns, and asked the old man who sold the lanterns, "Old man?" , how do you sell this lamp?"

During the Shangyuan Festival, many young people in the capital like to go to the catalpa along the river in the west of the capital suburbs to release river lanterns, and the lantern in front of me is placed on the water. After Ji Changli bought this lantern, he probably Also go to the suburbs for a walk.

Bai Xiyu saw that the peach blossom lantern in Ji Changli's hand was somewhat familiar. He seemed to have bought a peach blossom lantern last year on the Lantern Festival. Bai Xiyu even clearly remembered the various patterns drawn on the peach blossom lantern, which were similar to those in front of him. This one is exactly the same, Ji Changli is also okay, so time has passed, and his vision has not changed at all.

Bai Xiyu still remembered that after Ji Changli bought the lanterns, he asked for another piece of square white paper the size of a palm. He took a brush and wrote on the white paper: always be healthy every year, see you again every year.

At that time, he thought that these words were for him, but now that he thought about it, there might be someone else he wanted to meet.

The old man replied with a smile: "Two pennies."

Bai Xiyu looked at Ji Changli from behind. He didn't bring any money with him when he came out. If Ji Changli didn't bring any money, then he might not be able to take the lamp with him, and he probably won't be able to go to the suburbs later.But to Bai Xiyu's disappointment, he saw Ji Changli calmly took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man opposite. The old man accepted the money and said something to Ji Changli , "By the way, if you have any wish, young master, you can write a note on the table next to it and put it in the lantern."

"Thank you." Ji Changli took the lantern and put it in Bai Xiyu's hand. Then he walked to a small wooden table and sat down, picked up a pen and paper, and meditated for a moment.

Those wishes that Ji Changli wrote last year may or may not have come true, but it doesn't matter, but I don't know what Ji Changli wrote this time.

Bai Xiyu stood aside, watching Ji Changli write the words "every year is always healthy, every year is long" stroke by stroke, but he stopped halfway through writing the word "long" and sighed softly. With a sigh, he folded the piece of paper and put it between his cuffs, and it was the first time in a long time that Bai Xiyu saw such a sad expression on Ji Changli's face.

Why is there such an expression?Bai Xiyu felt very puzzled. Is there anyone he can't see now?

Ji Changli dipped the brush into the ink twice more, and re-wrote the eight words "peace and joy, a lifetime of worry-free life".He smiled, as if he was satisfied with this wish, then he folded the paper carefully, took the lantern from Bai Xiyu's hand, and put it in.

Although he felt it was inappropriate, Bai Xiyu couldn't help asking, "Is this lantern for Miss Yunji?"

The noise of people on the street was mixed with the sound of crackling firecrackers, but Bai Xiyu still heard Ji Changli's voice very clearly, "No."

Bai Xiyu believed that Ji Changli would not lie, but if it wasn't for Yunji, could it be for himself?Or, is there anyone else that he doesn't know?

It's sad to think about it, he and Ji Changli have been together for so many years, and it's only now that he realizes that Ji Changli didn't hide anything from him.

But it's useless to think about it now, these...have nothing to do with him.

Ji Changli took the lantern and really walked to the suburbs. A large number of young men and women gathered along the riverside. They seemed to have finished setting off the lanterns. At this time, they were gathering together to recite poems and talk about elegant things.

And Ji Changli took the peach blossom lantern and walked to Zi along the river alone. He stood by the river, his figure was stretched thin and long by the silver-white moonlight, and the breeze was blowing his hair. A woman's clear and melodious singing could be faintly heard in the distance. Ji Changli stood by the river for a long time, and finally squatted down, placed the lantern on the water, and watched it go away and disappear from his sight.

Bai Xiyu stood behind him, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything.

"Go back to the palace." He turned around and said to Bai Xiyu.

----

When Bai Xiyu went to Weizhou, another gray-robed Taoist came to the palace. This Taoist looked about 50 or [-] years old, but he had a big gray beard and two piercing eyes. Holding the whisk, he really looks like a worldly expert.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?" The Taoist stood in the imperial study and asked Ji Changli who was facing him.

"That's what I planned from the beginning, didn't the Daoist already know about it?" Ji Changli said lightly.
